(Trent) Rivers playing defensive side on his man allowing him to run into an open goal,” he said. “He’s been a massive in for them,” he said. “They conceded four in a quarter – you’d be lucky to concede four in a month!” Nathan Buckley said the Lions cashed in on “opportunistic” moments. “The Gabba is investigating a technical issue that is impacting the venue’s power,” the message to the crowd read. The Lions set up the win with a six-goal to two opening term in a “perfect” response to last weekend’s brutal loss to Port Adelaide. “The area of concern (for Melbourne) was the forward 50 stoppage goals,” Fox Footy’s Jonathan Brown said. As the Lions looked to kick on, the match descended into darkness when the Gabba lights blew after a “big bang”.

Brisbane and Melbourne's round two clash was filled with unique drama, with the Gabba's lights going out during the fourth quarter of the match.
